----------------------------------------------------------- From: liltrubin Message 7 in Discussion <WBR>Hi PT3688041! I wish I read your post earlier-:) Still catching up after surgery. I had the same thing occur. I was told the stabbing pain was actually from the kidney trying to swell but of course it cannot because it is encased in that hard shell. I am sure you are over all of this by now and I am so sorry I was not there for you!!!! I had to pee a lot too after surgery just from the irritation.

I am still dealing with the aftermath of the lithotrypsy. I still have stents in place. I have an appointment with the urologist on Monday and I am hoping they will take out those suckers. Of course, I do not want to think about the process invilved in getting them out. I am still crampy with occasional stabbing pain which I am sure is related to the stents. I can't believe that they made this sound so easy. Luckily, I teach or I would not have been able to work. Even so, I cut my classes short on Tuesday and Wednesday - the students did not seem to mind. The other problem that has developed is that my DI seems to be out of control. I am already on a high dose of DDAVP but I have to stay close to the bathroom. I even had to excuse myself 2 x during my visit with my local endo on Wednesday. This may be related to the lithotrypsy so I am hanging in there until the stents are removed. If it continues I will contact my endos - I wonder if this is related to the cyberknife? The pancreas thing is the scary part of MENS 1. I am still having problems with hypoglycemia. Endo talked about admitting me to the hospital for 3 days with no food and following my blood glucose and insulin levels. If there is a pancreatic tumor there is an increase in the insulin when the blood glucose drops. The pancreas pumps out too much insulin causing hypoglycemia. This usually sends the blood glucose into the 50's or less. The lowest I have recorded is 61 - which I hit regularly unless I eat every 2 hours. The endos are not impressed with anything out of the 50s. Good luck. I'll keep you posted on my latest adventure (If I cans stay out of the bathroom long enough). ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
